The Problems Derrick sees a murder happen and is pressured not to tell. The murderer threatens Derrick and his family. Derrick wants to know why the murder happened. Derrick is unsure what to do. Derrick is stressed out about BJ hurting him or his family after he tells the cops about BJ

Why this Book? As I read this book, I was immediately captured by it. The author expresses each situation with true intensity. It was one of those books that you cannot put down. Actually, it flips the pages for you! I love mysteries, but this one kept me on the edge of my seat hoping for good to prevail. I honestly felt bad for BJ. I would have never guessed the final outcome. You could pay more for a movie ticket and not be as satisfied. Buy this book, read it, and share it with others, to find out what all the clamor is about!
